Application
The 10 inch star was used at various locations: side panels of jeeps (approx. 6 inch), front bumper (approx. 75 inch for MB/GPW), and on larger vehicles such as trailers. The 10 inch size was also applied to the sides, front and rear of certain trailer types (MBT/BRT). For bonnet markings, larger formats were used (15-36 inch).
Installation notes
Secure the stencil flat against the surface. Apply paint with spray or brush in light coats. Remove the stencil carefully after application. For sharp edges: begin with a light mist, allow to dry for several minutes, followed by a finishing coat.
Compatibility
Please note: different star sizes were used for different vehicle types and locations. MB/GPW used 6 inch for side panels, 15 inch for bonnet, and 3.75 inch for front bumper. Consult historical photographs or AR 850-5 regulations for the correct size for your specific application.
Historical context
The invasion star with broken circle was applied from 1943 onwards as a recognition symbol for Allied vehicles during operations in Sicily and later during D-Day in Normandy. The circle improved visual recognition from the air and reduced friendly fire incidents.
